Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
My name is Olivia Bauman and I am currently serving as a missionary on the Island of Boracay.
This is where I share what God is doing here on Boracay as well as in my life day to day.
I hope you are blessed by what you read here! The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to sent out laborers into HIS harvest. Matt. 9:37-38

23 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe how time is flying! In just a few shorts weeks I will be leaving!I just wanted to update everyone on how things are going and let you know about a few things.First, there will be a commissioning service held at Calvary Chapel Seneca Falls on April 29th during the morning service. Coincidentally my Brother, Jordan, who is being deployed to Afghanistan will also be commissioned that morning. It should be a very special time and I would love to see you all there!

So many of you have GENEROUSLY supported me and I cannot even begin to express what a blessing that has been! Watching God provide for my trip has been such a testimony of Gods faithfulness to me! Thank you all so much for showing enthusiasm, support, and love to me as I set out on this journey. Thank you for the many people who have prayed for me...It truly has been felt by myself and my family.

As of right now I am halfway to my support goal. I need to raise about 7000.00 more, But after what I have seen God already do, I have no doubt HE will provide the rest.

It is definitely beginning to set in that I am leaving for real. I am so excited but I'm starting to feel the sadness of leaving my family for so long. Please continue to pray for peace for me as the enemy certainly has tried to use this to make myself question if I'm really called or if I should really be going etc.
